Thomas Anderson, well noted in the records of Mecklenburg County and a presiding judge at the formation of the County, lived near Bluestone Creek on the north bank of the Roanoke River. He was an overseer for William Byrd II, the colony's treasurer. He was the son of Thomas Anderson whose will is filed in 1757 in Albemarle County and grandson of Robert Anderson.
